Brother XM2701 Sewing Machine, Lightweight, Full Featured, 27 Stitches, 6 Included Feet

AMAZING . So easy to set up the thread and bobin . It's pretty . Not to heavy. Lots of diffrent stiches to choose from easy to figure out . Comes with easy instructions and theres plenty of videos online with easy to follow instructions for the exact machine, if you aren't able to understand them to well. It work very smoothly so far . I love it so much . Highly recommend, especially if you're new to sewing it's easy to use for beginners. The tension seem good as well and if you test it on a peice of scrap fabric first anytime you start a project and are messing around with the tension it's pretty easy to use and figure out. The presser foot is very good easy to figure out the perfect speed on.

Wow. I'm an older "beginner" and what a great bargain. It worked for me right out of the box after a very small learning curve. It's very easy to use, has a "quick bobbin" feature and an auto threader that made it better, and I wasn't expecting anything from thos features. The "auto" threader took some effort, but much better than trying to thread itw/o assistance. and I've only had to do it once, so far. This is a great product. I won't be using it on anything tougher than jeans, which might be it's max capacity, so I won't find the upper limit. Highest rating for my purposes, and a lot more than I expected.

I purchased this for a teenager who has a knack for sewing. She's very good at it. She had her eye on a Brother brand sewing machine for awhile and finally decided she wanted this one. She loves it. She is having fun seeing with this. It's able to handle different materials, runs smoothly and quickly and it's easy to thread. It's a quiet machine, which helps because my friend lives in an apartment complex. It's a well made machine and a good brand name.

I have never been good at sewing, despite my grandmother, sister, and best friend trying to teach me, but have wanted something to use to do basic tasks such as hemming, because sewing by hand takes a long time. This machine works great! It takes the hard chores like bobbin winding and needle threading and makes them automatically easier. The included instructions are easy for me to follow, and I have successfully hemmed a variety of fabrics, from denim to cotton to rayon, and they look good. The machine itself is relatively lightweight, so I can keep it in a closet and it’s not a burden to pull out and set up on a table, then put away again when I’m done. It’s quiet, and has enough accessories and features that, should I feel braver, mean I can do a lot more than hemming a skirt or pair of pants. This machine has taken away a lot of the fear I had about sewing, and I am more confident. Because it’s so easy, I don’t put off necessary chores, and also don’t hesitate to buy things that don’t fit, because now I know I can successfully adjust them in just a few minutes.

I researched beginner-friendly sewing machines before buying, and this model consistently came up alongside the Singer Heavy Duty. My previous machine was a basic Brother that lasted 14 years—I was just tired of threading it manually. This one works great straight out of the box. I did need to watch a few videos to learn the threading, but overall it’s simple and does everything I need. My only concern is the spool pin: on my first Brother, the top pin broke almost immediately, and this one looks just as flimsy since it’s plastic. I’m worried it may break again.

It was very easy to thread the bobbin and get started, quiet as far as sewing machines go. When the I need help there is a manual and so many helpful videos on YouTube. I am a total beginner. Nice straight stitches and it came with few extra parts.

Setup was very easy, no issues at all, finished a weighted blanket with ease almost right out of the box. I have limited experience as a sewer (meaning: home projects over the years, but not a professional by any means), and found this machine very simple to operate. Stitches look perfect, 10 out of 10.

Bought this Brother sewing machine for my adult daughter who had never sewn a single stitch in her life. Not a button. Not a hem. Nothing. She watched a couple YouTube videos, threaded it without crying, and was sewing cosplay pieces shortly after. That alone feels like a win. This is a true beginner machine. Lots of options to learn, forgiving enough to make mistakes, and not intimidating. If you already know how to sew, this is probably not your machine. If you are just starting out and figuring things out as you go, it does exactly what it should. Proud mom moment. Would buy again for a beginner.
